1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundInterleukin(IL)-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) underlie the crosstalk between epithelial cells and dendritic cells (DCs) during the development of Th2 responses. This study aimed to measure the expressions of IL-17RB, ST2 and TSLPR, receptor of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP respectively, on myeloid DCs in nasal polyps (NP) and evaluate their association with local Th2 inflammation and disease severity in patients with NP.

methodsSamples were collected from 30 NP patients and 16 control subjects recruited prospectively. The mRNA expression of cytokines, including TSLP, IL-25 and IL-33, as well as interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and IL-17A in NP and control tissues was examined by qualitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The expression of IL-17RB, ST2 and TSLPR as well as other surface markers on myeloid DCs (mDCs) was examined by flow cytometry.

resultsIncreased numbers of total and activated mDCs were found in NP patients. mDCs demonstrated significantly higher expression of IL-17RB, ST2 and TSLPR than those in control tissues. The activated mDCs exhibited up-regulations of OX40L and ICOSL, but down-regulation of PDL1 in NP. Moreover, the IL-17RB, ST2 and TSLPR levels on mDCs were positively correlated with IL-25, IL-33 and TSLP mRNA levels, respectively, in NP. Furthermore, IL-17RB and ST2 expressions on mDCs were correlated with the IL-5 mRNA level as well as eosinophil number in NP. Importantly, the IL-17RB expression on mDCs and the OX40L expression on activated mDCs in NP were positively correlated with CT score and total nasal symptom score.

conclusionsIncreased expressions of IL-17RB and ST2 on mDCs are associated with enhanced local Th2 inflammation in NP, suggesting that mDCs might play a role in IL-25- and IL-33-induced type 2 responses and eosinophilic inflammation in NP.
